Quotes
edit- Esperanto was a very useful language, because wherever you went, you found someone to speak with. -- George Soros
- Asked about what impresses her most about Esperanto conferences:
- With Esperanto conferences, it was the level of fluency. I sort of thought it would be like watching a video of "Chapter 1 Dialogue" in a language class, like "Where is the library?" But it was very fluid, like watching someone speak Spanish. So seeing that happen convinced me that it's a real language; it's not people playing dress-up with a different vocabulary.
